[QUOTE="pmshoemaker, post: 436030, member: 22228"] This transom is sandwiched between the outer hull and an aluminum front piece that covers t the face of it, stopping short about 3" from the floor. It looks like I'll have to take the aluminum front piece off to get to where the old wood was and replace it -- it's completely rotted away. I'll also have to pull out the transom support, obviously. I am great at tearing things apart -- it's the reconstruction that is scaring me. Those are massive rivets. Here's my question -- do I try to find massive rivets to replace those with? Or can I just replace them with bolts, washers and nuts? The latter seems to be the best [/QUOTE]
